Airbus H125

McDermott Aviation’s factory-new Airbus H125 brings a modern, multi-mission helicopter to our fleet, built for the high-altitude, high-heat conditions where other single-engine aircraft reach their limits.

Aircraft Overview

The H125 combines agility, visibility and reliable performance across a broad range of aerial work.

Powered by a single Safran Arriel 2D turbine engine, the Airbus pairs precise handling and excellent visibility with low cabin vibration, giving pilots a capable platform for demanding, mission-critical work.

Built for Hot and High Conditions

The H125 is purpose-built for high-altitude, high-heat environments, carrying approximately 140 kg more payload at 7,000 ft than previous variants.

In the cockpit, a touchscreen Garmin G500H TXi avionics suite and Vehicle & Engine Multifunction Display reduce pilot workload and add a further layer of safety, so crews can stay focused on the task outside the aircraft.

External Load and Utility Work

With an external sling load capacity of up to 1,400 kg, the Airbus is a flexible option for:

  • Aerial crane and external load work
  • Transport of personnel and equipment
  • Utility operations
  • Specialist mission configurations

Specialist Aerial Work

From utility and transport tasks to specialist low-level operations, the H125 is built for work that demands accuracy and close observation. Excellent visibility, precise handling and low cabin vibration give crews a clear, stable platform, while strong performance in hot conditions keeps it effective across Australia’s toughest environments.
